Smells like the sea, all the minerals on the palate (no distinct floral or fruit notes). Dry and delicious! — 2 months ago

A very different, slightly floral nose. Not boozy. Got a lot of acid on the first sips... Maybe that's just from being after the tawny? Something lingers, so must have some tannins present too. — 2 months ago

I'm finding something on the nose of tawnys that I just don't like, but oh that taste. Bigger body, almost syrupy, bigger fig and raisin flavors, and the lingering almonds. — 2 months ago

California Whites class at Table Wine. A Riesling with some oak on it, giving it a bigger body that is balanced by the acidity. Pleasantly surprised! — a month ago
